Sounds like asthma.  The body sometimes has a way of "symbolizing" emotional 
problems.  Asthma is sometimes a way of expressing that one is feeling 
suffocated by one's surroundings or that sort of thing.  But of course this 
isn't what you meant so never mind.  It's physically impossible to hold one's 
breath enough to die.

Okay.  Let's take a poll.  How many people on this list have had a situation 
where they could exhale but not draw any breath in, terrifying them that they 
were going to die?  Inability to inhale is somewhat problematic, no matter what 
the cause.

ck: Hyperventilation as a "psychological need." Now, that's a new one.
